TCS34725 Basys3 VHDL

Hi I am trying to use TCS34725 to identify Green and Red Colors, it has I2C interface and i could not find any I2C interface about this and i am not capable to write a protocol code what should I do I am stucked.

I just need when it sees green it turns one led and when it sees red it turns another led.

I2C is not as simple as SPI. More importantly the TCS34725 device you are trying to read has it's own protocol for reading the data. You will need to develop an I2C interface from the I2C spec to read and write the bytes to the TCS34725. Then you will need to design a controller which understands which bytes need to be written and read and extract the color information.

Do you understand how the TCS34725 works?

You might want to look at using a PCA9564 parallel to i2c controller.
That way you dont have to put a i2c controller in your fpga.
You are still going to have to program the TCS34725 but you could
write and read 8 bits parallel.

The TCS34725 has registers that you need to read and maybe write to configure the device. I looked at the data sheet once, but I don't recall the details.

The device has light sensors behind color filters. It also has ADC device(s) in it to convert the amount of light falling on the sensors to a numeric value. I think you have to write it to get it to start a conversion, then when it is done read the data. You will need to read the data sheet and understand this device before you do anything else.

Once you read the data sheet, return here and ask questions. I believe you are doing this for a school project, so I'm not going to spoon feed you. Read, try to understand, then ask questions.
